Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah Wildlife Department has launched an operation and killed five crocodiles in Kota Belud and Lahad Datu following three attacks on people 

Its director, Augustine Tuuga, said the operations targetted larger crocodiles in specific areas to protect residents in Kota Belud, Lahad Datu and Tawau districts.

“We already shot four crocodiles in Kota Belud and one in Lahad Datu,” he said in a statement.

The killed crocodiles might not have been involved in the attacks but still posed a threat to people in the concerned areas, added Augustine.
